Well I survived it. I didn't wake up on Saturday morning with my arse at my ankles and my boobs hanging round my knees. Turning 40 wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I had a lovely day and some wonderful gift.
My partner Russ, bought me a new computer which is fantastic and a joint gift from him and my son Ryan, was a beautiful pair of white gold, diamond and ruby earrings. I was so pleased with the earrings as I really wanted a pair of earrings with rubies in. Very appropriate for turning 40 and ruby being my birth stone. They were just gorgeous. I then went off to Newmarket and met up with my lovely friend Tina for breakfast and a chin wag. Breakfast ended up being more of a lunch date as it was so busy and we chatted for nearly 3 hours. We never run out of things to say to each other and it's always nice to meet her. Tina bought me some beautiful flowers and a bottle of vodka!! wooooohaaaayy!! Tina has also won a pair of tickets for a spa day at Clarice House in Bury St Edmunds and she's going to take me along as a treat for my birthday. I'm really looking forward to that. :o)
After our breakfast / lunch date I then called in to see my parents on my way home and got given some lovely gifts from them. First of all I got a new mobile phone which I got a few weeks ago as my last phone went wrong the day I got back from my holiday. Mum and dad also got me 2 lovely pairs of white gold earrings, a beautiful love heart shapped compact mirror for my bag and a pretty top. My sister bought me a ticket to go and see the psychic Sally Morgan at Cambridge Corn Exchange in a couple of months. I'll be going with my sister and our mum. Never been before so should be interesting.
Then Saturday evening I went to Frankie and Benny's with Russ, Ryan, my mum, dad, sister and her 2 children and 6 friends also come along. It was a really nice evening and we had a lovely meal. I had some more lovely gifts given to me and they were all really nice. A few friends came back to my house at the end of the evening where we opened a couple of bottles of vodka and it turned in to a really late evening. A good time was had by all. :o)
During the last 6 days I've eaten out 4 times, had 2 take aways and meal at my parents house. By the time I went to bed last night I felt really stuffed and was looking forward to Monday morning and it being a new start.
This morning I decided to go ahead with my plan to go to a new meeting. I joined a new class in Newmarket with a new leader called Elisha. This will be my 5th leader since joining WW. I'm hoping that by weighing in on a Monday morning it'll keep me in line throughout the week and then come the weekend I'll be thinking that it's weigh in soon so I've got to be good. That's the plan anyway. I've now gone back up to 16st 1lb. A total gain of 21lbs since I was at my lowest at the beginning of March. Quite shameful really. I purchased a track book today for the first time ever and I'm hoping that will help. I've made up some sugar free jelly and I'm planning on making some BNS soup to enjoy over the week. I've got out my WW scales, my pedometer is clipped on and I'm ready to go. I can't do my water workout classes or swimming at the moment due to whiplash. So I'm going to have to get my trainers out and go walking again. I haven't done that for ages.
New decade, new meeting, new leader, new venue. New start!!!
